The apartments in this development will have fabulous views with the majority of those views being uninterrupted across the valley towards North Sydney, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the Sydney CBD skyline.

Role: Developer

With a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments this development is conveniently located within the core of the Kew Junction Major Activity Centre. Grocon and MAKE architecture are developing a sculptural architectural form that includes fine detailing to the facades and which acknowledges the existing telephone exchange building.

The form has been carved to enable the tower to be seen as a collection of smaller vertical elements that together create the curvilinear form of the upper apartment

floors. The podium building is expressed as a perforated skin enclosing apartments to the west with carparking and services to the east (rear). The podium roof provides an opportunity for extensive landscaping which will have excellent access to daylight and which will be designed to cascade down the facades of the podium to provide a ‘green’ facade to Denmark Street.

The project is expected to receive planning approval in mid/late 2017.

The building form will wrap around an existing infrastructure asset, and will provide activation to the street frontages for the first time in many decades.

This complex project will see the existing infrastructure remain operational during construction and will be adapted to suit new equipment and maintenance requirements.

Common Ground, Melbourne

Number of Apartments: 161

Project Value: $37 million

Role: Design and Construct

The Elizabeth Street Common Ground Supportive Housing facility was completed in August 2010. The project was completed as a partnership between the State and Federal Governments, Yarra Community Housing, HomeGround Services and Grocon, with Grocon contributing its services at cost, on a no profit, no margin basis.

Overall, almost $10 million was saved, with consultants, suppliers, sub-contractors and philanthropic organisations also supporting the Common Ground concept. Common Ground is a 161 apartment facility, with 131 studio apartments and 30 two bedroom apartments. It houses some of the most vulnerable formerly homeless people in Melbourne, as well as low income earners. The concept of Common Ground began in New York and it provides safe, secure accommodation with a 24 hour concierge, as well as medical support, employment and training assistance, mental health referrals and other services which will assist homeless people to get their lives back on track.

Common Ground, Brisbane

Number of Apartments: 146

Role: Design and Construct

Brisbane Common Ground is a affordable housing development at 15 Hope Street, South Brisbane and was completed in May 2012. Combining residential, retail, commercial and community spaces, this unique building has been designed for social inclusion.

The 146 unit building is a sustainable housing solution for people who have experienced chronic homelessness and people earning low incomes. The project was delivered through a pioneering government-business-community partnership. Funding for the land purchase, design, construction and support services was provided by the Australian and Queensland governments through the National Building Economic Stimulus Plan and the COAG National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness. This is the third Common Ground project that Grocon Constructors has completed at cost, with no profit or margin.

Role: Design and Construct

The Hyde is a 35 storey residential tower facing Hyde Park in Sydney. With views over the Royal Botanic Gardens, Hyde Park, The Domain and Sydney Harbour, the signature vertical planters to the north podium levels create a unique relationship with the adjacent Hyde Park.

Common Ground, Sydney

Number of Apartments: 104

Project Value: $26 million

Role: Design and Construct

Common Ground, Sydney was delivered by Grocon on a not-for profit basis with funding from the Federal and NSW Governments through their joint program ‘A Place to Call Home’. It was conceived to service a chronic housing need for one of the most disadvantaged groups within our community.

The design of the building is not recognisable as social housing, but rather as a comfortable residential environment. The 104 units establish a social mix integrating previously homeless people with others on low incomes.

The development was delivered on time and below budget with savings being passed directly back to the client. Common Ground forms an important transition in scale, height and materiality between the 11-storey Joanna O’Dea tower on one side and the heritage-listed Alexandra Dwellings on the other, presenting a strong frontage to Pyrmont Bridge Road with upper level setbacks and resolving previously incomplete Public Domain across the Housing NSW sites.

VALUES

SafetySafe workplaces result from our focus on safety as our single biggest priority. We’re striving to ensure 100% injury-free workplaces at all times. The result is that our client’s projects are at the forefront of safe work practices in Australia.

Safety shapes our decision-making across the business and this is understood and acted upon at all levels, particularly on our sites. Moreover, Grocon has invested considerably to ensure that a strong safety culture is embedded throughout both the organisation and our activities so that it is observed by both our employees and Grocon subcontractors.

Our industry leading position is evidenced by the latest available statistics published by Safe Work Australia which indicates Grocon’s safety performance is significantly better than the industry average.

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rates (LTIFRs) across the building construction industry average 7.2 (i.e. lost time injuries per million hours) worked over the three years to end 2014. Comparatively, Grocon’s present performance (measured in accordance with Safe Work Australia’s guidelines) significantly outperformed the industry average, recording an annual average of less than 1.5.

Whilst the above results say that Grocon is significantly better than industry average, indeed our results compare favourably with, for example, the results of office environments within the financial services sector, zero harm or a zero LTI is our goal and our focus. Safety is an ongoing journey and there will always be more to do.

“Grocon is a leader in safety for the construction industry and demonstrates how a safety culture can be effectively implemented.”

- Safe Work Australia statement when awarding Grocon “Best Workplace Health and Safety Management System” across all industries.

SustainabilityWhether for business or moral purposes, or both, it is established that sustainability is a fundamental project requirement. Our aim is simple: to leave our planet in a better place than we found it. That means every project, not just our flagship sustainability projects, contributes to a greener future.

Our developments comprise some of Australia’s and the world’s most sustainable projects including Pixel, the only project in Australia to record a perfect Green Star score and the zero carbon, heritage adaptation of Legion House in Sydney’s CBD.

Metrics and third part certification is important. We regularly attain Green Star and NABERS ratings that exceed the contractual requirements at no cost to our clients with prominent examples being:

• Liberty Place, Sydney – 6 Star Green Star Design and As Built Ratings were procured for the base building exceeding the 5 Star contractual requirement.

• Dandenong Government Services Offices – 6 Star Green Star Ratings were procured for the base building and fitout exceeding the 5 Star contractual requirement.

• Common Ground, Sydney – a 5 Star Green Star Rating for the development was procured notwithstanding the absence of any contractual obligation in this regard.

Whilst we are proud of the sustainability credentials of our developments to date, we are constantly striving to set new standards for ourselves and the property industry more broadly.

Pixel, Melbourne The highest Green Star rating in Australia and the highest LEED rating in the world for a new building.

39 Values

CommunityHelping individuals reach their potential helps us all. That’s why we have always offered opportunities to the people in the communities in which we operate. And it is why we encourage our project teams and stakeholders to take pride in our community activities.

We have built Common Ground projects for people who have endured chronic homelessness and for low income earners, completing projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. These projects were delivered to the not-for-profit project owners at cost with Grocon forgoing all margin and profit. We also completed the clean up after the Black Saturday bush fires in Victoria in 2009 on the same basis and we are now helping the state and local communities clean up after the Christmas 2015 fires along Victoria’s south west coast.

Whilst we seek to make a significant contribution to the community through such major initiatives, we also seek to participate at a grassroots level on all of our projects. To this end our projects seek to establish a community partner for whom we can raise funds and awareness through harnessing our on-site delivery team and the broader network of subcontractors, consultants and project stakeholders who come together to make a project happen. For example, two of our projects, 55 Elizabeth Street Brisbane and ATO Offices Box Hill, have each raised $50,000 for Kids Under Cover while our 480 Queen Street project in Brisbane has raised $100,000 for the same partner.

Common Ground, Camperdown, Sydney A 5 Star Green Star community housing initiative for previously homeless people.

InnovationInnovation is intrinsic to Grocon’s culture. It always has been and underpins where we are today at the forefront of our industry. We deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients, employees, community and environment through innovation in all aspects of our business. We continually encourage and reward innovation at all levels of our business and projects.

Our commitment to innovation has resulted in many proud achievements. These include:

• the construction of some of Australia’s iconic projects including 1 Bligh Street in Sydney, the redevelopment of the Melbourne Cricket Ground’s Northern Stand and 1 Martin Place;

• the procurement of over $2 billion of third party capital for our projects since the Global Financial Crisis on market leading and market making terms; and

• the approach we adopt to living our values ranging from creating the world leading Pixel and Legion House projects to pioneering The Big Issue’s Homes for Homes initiative.
